We've seen a few images from Jeff Wadlow's upcoming sequel 'Kick-Ass: Balls to the Wall,' but they've all been candid, unsanctioned set pics. Today, we have the first official still from the film. In the pic, our DIY superhero Kick-Ass (…

Robert Schwentke's 'RED' was a solid action comedy with a tremendous cast. The story of a group of retired secret agents forced back into the game, 'RED' boasted the likes of Bruce…

One of my favorite filmic surprises of the last few years was 2009's 'Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.' The voice cast, the stunning animation, and the superbly clever script made for a truly unique movie that I often revisit. When it was announced that a sequel was in the works, I couldn't have been more pleased. Today, we have our first glimpse at …

Being an intern sucks, no matter where it is. For me, it was a juvenile detentions center, and that's only a slight step up from interning at Trump Tower. Shawn Levy ('Real Steel') has made this unfortunate universality the basis of his new comedy …

Around the Spillverse, we've talked a lot about last year's 'V/H/S.' It was a horror film that combined two separate subgenres, anthology and found footage, into something quite unique. It also featured a collaboration of some of the best up-and-coming talent in horror. The upcoming sequel, 'S-VHS' looks to be an augmentation of…

When I was in college, and completely absorbed in my forensic psychology classes, I watched a documentary on TV about a guy named Richard Kuklinski. Kuklinski, or The Iceman as he was dubbed, was one of the most violent and prolific killers in mafia history.  The doc was partially a recap of his life and crimes and partially a personal interview with him from his prison cell. I remember writing a paper on the guy, who was essentially a serial killer working for organized crime; fascinating…

I hadn't heard of the upcoming film 'Upstream Color,' and I'd hazard many of you hadn't either. However, what instantly had me interested to watch the movie's first trailer was the fact that it is written and directed by Shane Carruth. If that name seems vaguely familiar, it's because Carruth also wrote and directed the fantastic…

I love Danny Boyle as a filmmaker. There is no genre in which he can't operate. For his latest film 'Trance,' he is crafting a psychological crime thriller involving art thieves and hypnotism. If that description sounds weird, just wait until you see this first trailer. I'm interested to see how the dream-logic cat-and-mouse…

I was a big fan of Daniel Stamm's 'The Last Exorcism.' It told the story of a priest who had all but completely lost his faith and was filming exorcisms he conducted in order to expose just how phony they were. He is then of course presented with a case far more legitimate than anything he's ever encountered.…

May the odds be ever in your favor, especially at the craps table. Even though a score of images from Francis Lawrence's 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' have hit the web over the last few months, today's is being touted as the first official image from the movie. It depicts…

When, oh when are people going to learn to stop taking trips with Liam Neeson? Trouble follows that guy around like a pack of wolves following wounded plane crash survivors in Alaska. In Jaume Collet-Serra's 'Non-Stop,' Neeson plays…

Nicolas Winding Refn ('Drive,' 'Bronson') is quickly becoming one of my favorite filmmakers. His knack for infusing crime dramas with vibrant and captivating style and instantly iconic characters is fantastic. His latest film, …

The idea of Ashton Kutcher ('That 70s Show') playing iconic tech magnate Steve Jobs probably doesn't sit well with…

Noomi Rapace reteams with her 'Girl with the Dragoon Tattoo' director Niels Arden Oplev for 'Dead Man Down.' The film, also…

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson is a snitch, or at least that's the basic conceit behind stuntman-turned-director Ric Roman Waugh's 'Snitch.' Johnson plays a father who agrees to go undercover into a drug cartel after the DEA busts his…

We've all had bad relationships, but this one really bites. Jonathan Levine's 'Warm Bodies,' based on the book by Isaac Marion, is the story of a zombie who falls in love with the girlfriend of one of his victims. I've been going…

When that first image from 'The Incredible Burt Wonderstone' hit the web, I didn't know much about the film. And yet when I saw that luxurious flowing mullet atop Steve Carell's head, it was clear there was something truly special here. Today the first trailer for the movie has arrived and...it's a bit of a mixed…

I'd been hearing a lot of strange things about Michael Bay's weightlifter comedy 'Pain & Gain,' but still wasn't sure exactly what it was we'd be in for when the movie hit theaters. Thanks to this first trailer, that fog of uncertainty has substantially lifted. Starring …

The word "magical" does not begin to describe these first glimpses from Don Scardino's 'The Incredible Burt Wonderstone.' The movie centers on a magician duo (Steve Carell and…

Aliens versus giant robots. I'm going to repeat this: aliens versus giant robots. Guillermo del Toro's 'Pacific Rim' has been high on my list of most anticipated of 2013 ever since that glorious premise was first revealed. And now, after being teased with posters and viral marketing gimmicks, we finally have the…
